Bruce Dale Johnston

March 19, 1948 – August 28, 2024

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Bruce Dale Johnston on August 28, 2024. Born on March 19, 1948, Bruce was a man who dedicated his life to hard work, a love for the outdoors, and his cherished family.

Bruce's passions were many; he found joy in riding his motorcycle, exploring the natural world, and sharing laughter with those around him. His generous spirit and quick wit made him a beloved husband, father, and grandfather. Bruce's kindness and sense of humor touched everyone he met, and he had an innate ability to brighten any room with his jokes and warm presence.

He faced his health challenges with the same strength and courage he applied to all aspects of his life. Bruce's passing, believed to be related to a heart attack following complications from sepsis, leaves a profound void in the lives of his family and friends.

Bruce is survived by his loving wife, Maria Johnston, his devoted children, Melissa Jenkins and son-in-law, Alex Jenkins, and Corey Johnston, and his adoring grandchildren, Skylar Noble, Grace Noble, Gavin Jenkins and Ariana Jenkins. He is also mourned by many extended family members and friends who will miss his infectious laughter and unwavering kindness.

A celebration of Bruce's life will be held on Saturday, August 31, 2024 at 7pm at the Moose Lodge, Boone NC.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to The American Cancer Society, in Bruce's memory.

Bruce's legacy of hard work, love for life, and generosity will continue to inspire all who knew him. He will be deeply missed but fondly remembered.
